You don't test a major new feature on the entire userbase That's not how "it" is done.

It wasn't a feature, it was a change. And yes, "it" is sometimes done that way.

I completely disagree.

Sorry, but you're wrong. If you want, you can go and change the settings so that you see all the updates/videos from channels that you're subscribed to. Not broken, just a change that confused some users.

its just randomly not monetizing videos that would normally be monetized with no rhyme or reason

They don't have to give anyone "rhyme or reason", as stated in their ToS. People in agreement with their ToS should understand this, but often users forget (or never even knew) what they've agreed to.

They regularly break things

You still have yet to show us anything that was pushed to production that was broken aside from this content-id issue.

There was no setting. If there is now, I've never found it.

Maybe you're talking about how they started defaulting to the "What to Watch" page instead? I am not. I'm talking about the "Subscribers" page. Which should always, ALWAYS show all videos from people I'm subscribed to. period. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Its like there's glitches in their system, and they can't always find all the information. Sometimes videos that got missed will suddenly show up 12+ hours later, but in the correct chronological place in the list, so you have to scroll down to find it.

I'm sure they have stuff in their ToS covering every conceivable scenario just to cover their ass. Everyone does. Now, is it acceptable or good business practice? No, it isn't.

So am I. It looks like you're mistaking changes to the behavior of the service as bugs. I agree that when these changes to the subscriber page were rolled out, it was weird, but a minute of exploring how it worked solved any quirks I had with it.

Sure it is; if a person doesn't like their ToS, they don't have to use the service.

However, I do remember the problem where some users were automagically unsubscribed from certain channels. Not sure if there was a statement about this, but that may have been a blatant snafu.

You also have to realize that you have also agreed to their ToS, so if things sometimes don't go absolutely perfectly, you just have to deal with it. You can complain all you want, but remember that you're voluntarily using the service. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to use it

/randomly/ not showing me all the videos available from the people I'm subscribed to isn't a quirk, its a bug.

I don't WANT To see everything. I want to see all videos. Which no matter what that setting is set to, doesn't always happen (some of my subscriptions have that set, some don't). Its a random glitch. a bug.

Ho ho ho yeah and Allegro.CC bugs are fixed within minutes and retains a 99.9% up-time.
